I have had a bit of experience with a 16" scope and When I am asked to look through someone else's 12" and compare,it is Chalk and Cheese  |
Well, to my eyes, I didn't notice a vast amount of difference. True, I'm a relative newbie when it comes to viewing DSOs, and the Leyburn skies weren't apparently that nice to us on the 2 nights I was there (I enjoyed it though). Maybe if the skies had been darker, and if I was more experienced, I'd have noticed a larger difference. Yes, the 16" was better, no doubt, what I am saying is that, to me, and on the nights in question, it wasn't a lot better. Andrew's 12" dob wasn't embarrassed by any means imho.
